You’re in danger
When you start to pretend you’re someone you are not
Don’t be the stranger
The stranger from within
Don’t conform to try to be them
You’re in danger
When you start to pretend you’re someone you are not
Don’t be the stranger
Watch your reflection
Look back at your friend
Don’t be a stranger from within
Don’t deny your inner self of being who you are
Be yourself and don’t let them discourage you
Let your light shine
Be who you are
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t put yourself in danger
Of losing the person within
